                      <strong>1933</strong> - Leaves his family's farm to attend the
                      University of Minnesota, thanks to a Depression era program known as the
                      "National Youth Administration"

                      in the Civilian Conservation Corps, helping starving Americans. "I saw

                    </li>

                      laid off due to budget cuts. Inspired by Elvin Charles Stakman, he
                      returns to school study under Stakman, who teaches him about breeding
                      pest-resistent plants.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                      <strong>1941</strong> - Tries to enroll in the military after the Pearl
                      Harbor attack, but is rejected. Instead, the military asked his lab to
                      work on waterproof glue, DDT to control malaria, disinfectants, and
                      other applied science.
                    </li>
                    <li>

                      different strains of disease resistent wheat - including different
                      varieties for each major climate on Earth.
                    </li>
                    <li>
                      <strong>1945</strong> - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each

                      with a high-yeidling American breed, creating a strain that responds
                      well to fertilizer. It goes on to provide 95% of Mexico's wheat.
                    </li>

                    </li>
                    <li><strong>1970</strong> - receives the Nobel Peace Prize</li>

                      supply by 2050." Argues that genetically modified crops are the only way
                      we can meet the demand, as we run out of arable land. Says that GM crops
                      are not inherently dangerous because "we've been genetically modifying
                      plants and animals for a long time. Long before we called it science,
                      people were selecting the best breeds."

                    <li><strong>2009</strong> - dies at the age of 95.</li>
